Wow! While Apple accept been hyping their iPhone 3G for the best allotment of a year, the Samsung Omnia has appear from nowhere, and is the buzz that the iPhone should accept been. Whereas the iPhone misses out on all kinds of capital features, the Omnia does about aggregate that you could appetite from a phone, and does it actual well.
The Omnia looks super-cool too. The glassy platinum accomplishment and the abbreviate anatomy accord the buzz wow! factor, alike afore you alpha application it.
Samsung accept been churning out touchscreen phones back the alpha of 2008. First the Armani, again the Nerva, again the Tocco, anniversary time adorning the architecture and accepting afterpiece to the absolute phone. Now the Omnia looks like it could be "the one". Samsung's touchscreen user interface has bigger a little with anniversary release, although we criticised the Tocco for accepting a abate screen. There is no botheration with the Omnia however, which has a massive WQVGA 3.2 inch awning - that's alike bigger than the LG Viewty and alone hardly abate than the iPhone 3G. The TouchWiz user interface is an accomplished accomplishing of a touchscreen phone. TouchWiz uses a array of automatic blow controls, e.g. tap, sweep, annoyance and bead operations as able-bodied as an on-screen qwerty keyboard. The awning uses concrete acknowledgment to advice you feel your way about the airheaded and controls, and alike determined texters should be blessed with the result. The iPhone may accept paved the way in touchscreen UI design, but Samsung accept followed actual well.
The Omnia is a smartphone active Windows Adaptable 6.1. This has a cardinal of advantages. Firstly, the user interface will be accustomed to PC users, alike including a adaptable adaptation of Internet Explorer for web browsing. Secondly, the arrangement enables acceptable admission to Office abstracts such as PowerPoint, Excel and Word (for alteration as able-bodied as viewing). Thirdly, you can download third-party applications and install them on your phone. The buzz comes pre-installed with actual absolute claimed organiser functions. The touchscreen user interface can sometimes be a little apathetic and added complicated to use than accepted phones, but we've got to say aloof how afflicted we are by its robustness. Most acute phones blast and benumb regularly, but not the Omnia.
Let's booty a attending at the multimedia capabilities of the buzz now. Summarising in three words: it does everything! Really! Let's accede the spec: A 5 megapixel camera with face-detection autofocus, smile apprehension (takes a attempt back anybody is smiling), auto-panorama, LED beam and agenda zoom. It may not accept the optical zoom of the Samsung G800, the eyes of the Nokia N95, or the xenon beam of the Sony Ericsson K800i, but we would bulk it in the top 10 of accepted camera phones. In any case, it walks all over the aged camera in the iPhone 3G. The camera can be acclimated as a business agenda clairvoyant too. It additionally has an accomplished video camera (with angel stabilisation), and the video playback adequacy includes Divx support. Of advance it's a 3G buzz with video calling too. The music amateur is actual acceptable and supports about all formats, and an FM radio is included too. Web browsing is additionally an agreeable acquaintance on the Omnia, with fast HSDPA downloads, the ample touchscreen, and avant-garde Opera browser all alive calm to accommodate a acceptable experience. The Omnia additionally comes with GPS aeronautics congenital in.
One of the outstanding appearance of the Omnia is the actually huge anamnesis that it supports. Available in a best of 8 or 16 Gbytes, it additionally has a microSD anamnesis agenda slot, enabling an added 8 Gbytes to be added. This agency that you can abundance a huge bulk of music or video (around 8,000 songs or 23 DVD-quality films) and you can alike abundance up to 120 Mbytes account of argument or MMS messages.
The array activity is actual acceptable too, which is absolutely a abruptness for a touchscreen buzz with so abundant functionality. We agnosticism Samsung's official abstracts of 450 hours standby however.
Connectivity is unbeatable, with a best of Bluetooth, USB and Wi-Fi.
Really, the Omnia is an amazing phone, and it's no abruptness that it's confused appropriate to the top of the best agent archive at launch. Touchscreen phones are the hottest artefact in 2008, and the Omnia is arguably the best so far. If you absurd the fresh iPhone or the LG Viewty, you should absolutely be attractive at the Omnia instead. The alone affair is the Windows Adaptable operating system, which is actual powerful, but makes the airheaded on the Omnia added circuitous than a accepted phone. But alike so, this is absolutely a 5 brilliant phone!!!
